Does anyone have a Speed Grille on their truck, if so, how was it, because I'm planning on putting one on mine

 

I am looking at the Cloud Rider Design ones that I think are similar? If so I am interested as well in the answer to this question and would like to add this particular model to your post. I am looking at both the grill and the bumper one. The CRD ones are found here: http://www.customtruckproducts.com/scripts/applications.cfm?Product=178&CFID=122897&CFTOKEN=4 8193788

97 F-150 SC Lariat, Styleside, White over gold, 4.6L (Windsor) automatic, 3.55 rear end, electronic 4X4, w/ every option of Lariat and ORP packages except the 17" wheels and the 4X4 decals, MOD so far= K&N air box mod, Gibson Super Truck, clear Bugflector II, Leer TSC 600 hard cover, Bridgestone Dueler OWL ATP 265/75 R-16's, TrailMaster VVS shocks, Smittybilt step bars, Ford moulded mud guards, "White-white" head lamps.

 

I think that CRD grille is different from the Speed Grille. The CRD is like the Lund's screen, which is use during the winter time to keep the heat under the hood. Take a look at this site http://www.ultimatetruckandvan.com/, they sell one for the F150 for $102.

Well actually I was looking at CRD's 'Summer grill' set. in Stainless steel. The one with the screen for the lower bumper hole as well as the grille area. $79 for the grille and about $50 for the bumper one. No need for winter stuff here in SC, just bugs!

Can't seem to get in close enough to see the Speed Grille well. It looks similar to the CRD summer grille from the distance of the picture. Do you know a site that has a good close up and detailed description? Does it replace the stock or go over it?

 

The grille goes over the stock grile, I'm still questioning about the airflow. No luck in searching for a close up, let me try and find my old Trader catalog. This is the site with the pic of the Harley F150 http://www.fordtrucks.com/news/news45.html

Guys, I recently purchased a speed grille for my f-150. I also got the bumper insert for it. They look awesome, but I ran into problems. I asked the guy I bought it from if it would fit an xl grille shell, and he said it would. Well, it didnt, I wanted a painted grille shell anyways, so I went out and bought one. That is my only problem so far, and everywhere I go, it gets looks. By the way, it was purchased from Stylin' Concepts and is made by Street Scene.
